At that time, his wife and I rolled our eyes as if to say, .....You What.??? :lol:

But does he have a point with his explanation, however.???


Hey its the undercover GC :wink:

Ok I really dont know much about this so maybe someone can answer a few questions for me:

1 what was the population (numbers) of armenians in the ottoman empire the last time a census was taken before WW1

2. the Armenia diaspora now is mainly from the survivors of the 'genocide' is that right? what is the size of the diaspora population?

3. Does the figures that you correlate between one and two match up?

4. what is the proof that this was a systematic attempt to kill all the Armenians?

5. Why are the Armenian archives not open?


Do you really expect an answer from a south cypriot?

The hate peddler dares question anything with the bullshit that you post vre Homar :lol: :lol:



Hiya I know this maybe a very sensitive subject to you, but the questions that I ask are from a place of wanting to find out more not an attack in any way, could you answer them (if you want to of course)

No problem bro, I promise you I shall .


I trust your answer to DTA will be unbiassed.

It would also be good if you did not take Runaways bait. I know he has a filthy mouth and you retaliated, but he cant help it. You can. :lol:

ilk o hayvan dedi. rumsun, yaşlısın ve açık bir şekilde gerizekalısın.



Kouno Kefalos :twisted: Your words do not hurt me, we know what you are, that is enough. :roll:


Hem de adi bir rumsun. rumca konuşarak düşmana yaranabilceğini sanıyorsun.Of course you know who I am. Ama senin ne olduğun belli değil. Onun için Türkiye'de senin gibilere kanı bozuk rum p.çi diyoruz köylü. 8)


Coming from somebody who is by all accounts only half Turkish, that accusation is rich indeed.

Ignorants will always show their ignorance. They just can't help it. It's in their nature and nurture.


Right. The guy can't even distinguish the difference between male and female Turkish names. :lol:



There are such thigs as 'unisex' names - like Deniz, Ilkay and obviously Ege (plus many more). But you dont know these things. If I say I knew a lady by the name of Ege, that is enough for me. What would I gain by denying that.

Kouno Kephalos is a Byzantine description of the Seldjuk Turks at the time of Malazgirt/Manzikert. If the description does not fit, then that shows that you are a right 'mongrel'. The same really. :lol:


Liar. You claimed Ege is a female name with your "perfect" Turkish. You only shut up when some TCs supported me (VP and someone else) telling you Ege is used mostly for boys.

We don't use Byzantine descriptions in Türkiye and KKTC as the official language is TURKISH. Got it köylü?

You realise that you are an honorary memeber of Lurucina, hence a koylu too.

What was it Ataturk said. Koylu Milletin efendisidir. Was it not? Or was he joking when he said it.

I am very fond of village people in Cyprus - I lived in a village here for the first few months. I can't always say the same of Turkey, unless they are Alevis.

On which page of the great man's collected works will I find that quotation?

PS
One of my favourite Turkish sayings is "Bir lisan bir insan."

Runaway Lurucina was Lurucina for 400 years and then got changed to Akincilar by Denktash and TMT. We don't need name change to be aware of our Turkishness. We are Turkish Cypriots no matter what others say and we will always be. I also try to speak English, another Gavur language. Speaking of other languages is an asset today not impediment.

According to oral history passed down for generations, the name Louroujina, Louroudjina or the Turkish spelling ‘Luricina’ (today known as Akincilar) was named after an Italian maiden called Lorenza or Laurentia who fell over and died on its very spot.


Louroujina is not a Greek name. This from the man (or woman?) who criticises others for being ignorant about names. Et tu Brute!

I critized the rum yalakası for his ignorance on his native language. I don't care about the ancient name of the town and I am not supposed to know where the name comes from. Akıncılar is a beautiful name and we shall stick to it as it reminds us our victory against the enemy.
